Term
Definition
Periodic Law   States that the elements are arranged by increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their properties  
🗑
Group   A vertical column of element in the periodic table arranged in order of increasing atomic number; also called a family  
🗑
Period   A horizontal row of elements in the modern periodic table  
🗑
Representative Element   Elements from groups 1, 2, and 13-18 in the modern periodic table, possessing a wide range of chemical and physical properties  
🗑
Transition Element   Elements in groups 3-12 of the modern periodic table and are further divided into transition metals and inner transition  
🗑
Metal   An element that is solid at room temperature, a good conductor of heat nad electricity, and generally is shiny; most metals are ductile and malleable  
🗑
Alkaline Earth Metal   Group 2 elements in the modern periodic table and are highly reactive  
🗑
Transition Metal   Elements in groups 3-12 that is contained in the 9-block of the periodic table and, with some exceptions, is characterized by a filled outermost s orbital of energy level n, and filled or partially filled d orbitals of energy level n-1  
🗑
Inner Transition Metal   A type of group B element that is contained in the f-block of the periodic table and is characterized by a filled outermost orbital, and filled or partially filled 4f and 5f orbitals  
🗑
Lanthanide Series   In the periodic table, the f-block elements from period 6 hat follow the element lanthanum

🗑
Noble Gas   An extremely unreactive group 18 elecment  
🗑
Metalloid   An element that has physical and chemical properties of both metals and nonmetals  
🗑
Valance Electron   electron in an atom's outermost orbitals; determines the chemical properties of an atom  
🗑
Principle Energy Level   the major energy level of an atom  
🗑
Ion   An atom or bonded group of atoms with a positive or negative charge  
🗑
Ionization Energy   The energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom; generally increases in moving from left-to-right across a period and decreases in moving down a group  
🗑
Octet Rule   States that atoms lose, gain, or share electrons in order to acquire the stable electron configuration of a noble gas  
🗑
Electronegativity   Indicates the relative ability of an element's atoms to attract electrons in a chemical bond  
🗑
Atomic Number   the number of protons in an atom  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
